The fee to take the knowledge test is $40, and if you pass, you will need to pay an additional $19 for your learner’s permit. If you fail the knowledge test, you will have to wait seven days and re-pay the $40 fee. Individuals under age 18 must have a guardian or parent’s permission to apply for a learner’s permit.
